Thats precisely the situation todays original poster (OP) found herself in duringChristmasat her in-laws home.
Thecouplealready have a toddler and, like many families, alternates Christmas visits between both sets of grandparents.
This year, Christmas was at the in-laws house.
However, the OPs mother-in-laws obsession with becoming a grandmother again overshadowed what should have been a peaceful holiday.
She had a track record of making insensitive remarks, especially when it came to pregnancies and fertility.
When the couple waited to announce their firstpregnancyat 10 weeks, her mother-in-law was offended.
During this Christmas visit, the OPsmother-in-lawreferred to pregnancy non-stop.
Speaking of in-laws, family relations arent always the easiest, especially when it comes to them.
In fact,REC Parentingstates that the relationship between mothers-in-law and daughters-in-law can be the most complicated and challenging.
These relationships often involve a difference in values, beliefs, and family dynamics, which can create tension.
In many cases, issues also arise over grandchildren.
To do this, they recommend approaching the situation directly and kindly, expressing concerns and expectations clearly.
Its essential to be firm, even when family members resist change.
The OP later stated in an update that she was leaving the family gathering.
